Geothermal Plant Original Pictures

All of the images on this page can be clicked on to view the
full-size image.

While creating this new level, I'm taking pains to try to
include all the features that Dreamworks originally intended. This is
the screen that is displayed when loading the demo level.

It's a 3dMax rendered scene. The image below is shown
whenever the correct image for a level can't be found in the retail game.

There are many objects with a level abbreviation in their name
in the game. "Pine Valley" is mentioned in one (or more) of the
previews on Trespasser, as is the geothermal plant. Below is the image
that was meant for the Pine Valley level. This is actually named
li_pv_0.tga on the CD. The "pv" stands for Pine Valley.
There are a few objects with "pv" in their name in the
game.

This section looks similar to the first ravine beyond the T-Rex
on the demo level. It was one of the first clues that the demo level was
actually the geothermal plant level. It is not a very close match to the
ravine, which makes me think there may actually have been another level.
There is space between levels 2 and 3 for another level.

With the concept of a ninth and perhaps 10th level, I've
collected a number of screen shots showing these other levels. In this picture, you'll notice a bridge across a cement moat.

And here's another shot of that bridge:

In the shot above, there is a building which matches the one in
the shot below. You can also see the green transformer, and the rock
formation near the bridge.

To see how these all match up, click on each picture to open up
a new window with the enlarged picture in it. They really are the same
area. The moat in these pictures is along the coast in the demo
level. You can see the moat suddenly drop off into nothing in the middle
picture above. That's a cliff.

The picture below is part of the originally planned geothermal
plant
level. Note the sky - this picture is an actual in-game shot.

However, here's a 3dMax rendered shot of the same area.
Note the angled road, the walkway following it, and the building in the rear.
The only thing really missing from this picture is the mountain in the
back. The in-game shot is missing the white tubing, a building, and some
walkway. My guess is that the in-game shot was an early unfinished version.

Harshreality001 found this screenshot for me:

Named ControlRoom.jpg, it obviously shows an in-game shot of a
control room that does not exist in any of the existing levels. There's
only one level that this could possibly be a part of. Expect to see
something similar to it in the Geothermal level.

TomVa noticed the image on the left below, on a review. It
looks like an in-game screen capture.

The image on the right is a screen cap I made on the demo
level. It is not exactly the same, but I think it is close enough to make
the claim that the left screen cap is from the original Geothermal level.

After looking at the terrain, and these pictures, there is a lot
of work to do to create this level. Be patient. :) And remember,
though I'm going to have fun creating this level, I
won't get the pleasure that you will from playing it the first time. :(
